Dear DBTH: I Want to Dance
And now, a very special installment of Dear DBTH, where a reader asks us a question and we turn to you, our readers, to help answer. Thus the circle is unbroken.
So next weds is my birthday and i am going to have a small dinner with friends, but was wondering where was a good place to go after for dancing, etc. I kind of want more low-key and i don't think we will do bottles, since not many of them will want to drink a lot as we all have work thurs morning. Its all girls - probably about 7 of us, i just want a place for dancing where the door won't be a hassle but still crowded and fun. Do you have any suggestions?
OK everyone - please give her some help.

Santo's Party House
sway
terrible recommendations. Santos' party house is for thugs who want to get into fights and sway is so over that it's not even funny. Nur Khan has long since moved onto greener pastures at rose bar.
cielo
santo's or cielo. get over yourself if you care about nur khan.
cielo is a trashy meatpacking club that attracts guidos with spiky hair and affliction t-shirts.
gosh, NYC nightlife sucks.
Arlo and Esme in EV is pretty good (Went there Sat.) Something different from Meatpacking and not a hard door though not sure what the scene will be like on a Weds.
205 and shut up.
NYC nightlife is a joke. there are very few upscale clubs or lounges. just a bunch of ugly women and B&T trash.
Chicago nightlife destroys NYC.
def Marquee. they always have great djs and on a weeknight they usually don't make girls get bottles (unless your group is super busted...sorry, its the truth).
I heard that the night life in Guam destroys the nightlife in Chicago
Wednesdays at Cain are still a favorite of mine. God I fucking wish Cain was in Chicago... it would be so much better ;P
I had cancer and when I when I landed in Chicago, it all went away!
Cain = Decent on wed.
Marquee = Still decent but just been open way too long.
Pink = Decent on Wed
TenJune = All smoke and mirrors with no substance
1OAK = Only legit place in NYC!
Gold Bar = Great design but place nevers gets on fire
Butter on Mondays = Still good
Johnny Utahs on Monday = Fire
Upstairs = Only good Sunday or Monday
Room Service = B&T and urban crowds
Kiss & Fly = Good On Wednesday and nice layout. Secret room are tight.
Other Hot Shit of yesteryear
Pangea/Rehab Combo
Stereo when it first opened and the djs were killin it.
Dorsia for a hot second
Marquee on Tuesdays circa 2004
Thats all for now;-)
arlo and esme deservesd to eb gettign a lot of play...totally chilled out, no need for bottles.Great space, good crowd. as aboove said only problem is not sure how busy it will be on a weds
All those Chicago, LA and whatever lovers should stay in their cities and enjoy THEIR nightlife! We are happy here in New York without them.
The upstairs late night wednesday is always a good time. And with 7 girls sounds like it won't be impossible for you to get in. Also please refrain from responding to the Chi and LA idiots at this point its just a joke. So treat them like children, ignore till they go away.
Upstairs sucks! the people there are trailer trash and ugly girls.
can NYC ever open a decent nightlife venue like the ones in Chicago?
what places are hopping tonight on tuesday? i heard tenjune is pretty decent on tuesdays. any other places?
Tenjune Tuesday is its only really decent night but the door is also usually its tightest. If you want to dance and have a low key evening 205 was good a while back, I havent been in months so who knows now. To be honest I am probably going to get ripped on for this but I was invited to go to The Box. I was told it was going to be an excellent show tonight and I would have "a sick fucking time",still I will withhold judgement until tomorrow.
thanks for the advice.
i'm not that into dance clubs. what are some good lounges worth checking out?
Lets go to Chicago! I feel like sleeping with this guy's sister!
Yeah!
Any good suggestions for Saturday nights?
OK...for the "tell it like it is"
LeT me correct you sweety...
Cain = Decent on wed-TRY UGLY AND SUPER URBAN
Marquee = Still decent but just been open way too long.-HAS NOT BEEN "DECENT" SINCE THE FIRST YEAR THEY OPENED.

TenJune = All smoke and mirrors with no substance-1ST THING YOUR RIGHT ON
1OAK = Only legit place in NYC!-ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME....HOW OLD ARE YOU..???? LEGIT CLUB???

Butter on Mondays = Still good-NOW THIS IS SUPER URBAN!!!
Johnny Utahs on Monday = Fire- YA, SAY WANNA BE SNATCH MIAMI
Upstairs = Only good Sunday or Monday-IF YOU LIKE THE SUPER ISRAELY CROWD!
Room Service = B&T and urban crowds-THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSED ON WED HONEY. WHEN IT WAS OPEN, THE BEST OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP/FASHION NO B.S CROWD IN THE CITY...
Kiss & Fly = Good On Wednesday and nice layout. Secret room are tight. STRIPPERS AND COKE HEAD 9-5 ERS! 2 X 2 ROOM WITH LIGHTS BEAMING IN YOUR CORNEA! WORST CLUB EVER!!!!
Other Hot Shit of yesteryear
Pangea/Rehab Combo- I AM STARTING TO THINK YOUR A COKEHEAD...
Stereo when it first opened and the djs were killin it. LIKE ANY OTHER CLUB? BESIDES THE $$ THEY PAID FOR WELL KNOWN DJ'S...WHAT WAS SO HOT ABOUT IT!?
Dorsia for a hot second-HAHAHAH...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!??
Marquee on Tuesdays circa 2004..YA, YOU MUST BE PUSHING EARLY 20'S.
Try 205, cool no fuss place...away from the fake clubs of NYC.
Limelight is still pretty hot on Wednesdays.
Correction is right. all those clubs are total trash. way too many violent black thugs running around. but that's what NYC is.
for good clean upscale fun, nothing beats Chicago.
dude china club is the spot.
I know I am breaking my own rule but who says "to many violent black thugs" I would love to know what tool is posting this. Find you then repeatedly slapp the living shit out of you for being and ignorant immature Tool. I don't care if you think Chicago is coller than NY fine you win who cares, but to say racist shit deserves a fucking beating. Grow up, and I ask DBTH to delete dumb shit like this.
Willy Be G,
i guess i touched a nerve. just speaking the truth about NYC's demographics and clientele at these clubs. there's no doubt that NYC is dangerous. a woman got mugged at 81st and park avenue last week. and who do you think is committing these violent crimes? i'll give you a hint: they're NOT white.
I think "NYC decline" is still pissed that he walked into his parent's bedroom and his mother was getting ran through by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
He let them do it to because they were playing for the coolest city on earth.
Patrick Ewing had to wait outside cause he was from NYC and it sucks.
NYC's Decline kill yourself!!. But Please do not allow my crassness to deter from the fact that the reason I hate you Midwestern hillbilly assholes is because you bring an extremely narrow way of thinking into my otherwise eclectic city. You are scared of the browns and blacks because the racial divide is so clear in your shit tank of a city.Its not that clear cut here but then again you are just a visitor who will probably never really get that.
chicago knows how to keep the criminals and thugs out of nice areas like gold coast, river north, and lincoln park. meanwhile, manhattan still has housing projects.
i know this is tough for you to comprehend, but some people want to be in a clean upscale club/lounge with decent people, not some violent thugs who cause trouble.
"violent thugs ?"
You are such a Pussy! Jesus Christ!
Why don't you and some chic from chicago go finger bang yourselves.
Don't go to Box, unless you want me make rape on you and then eat your poo-poo
walk hard
